The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) questioned Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at the Tihar Jail on Tuesday night in connection with the alleged excise policy scam ahead of the Supreme Court’s hearing on his bail in the ED’s money laundering case, sources said.
AAP leader Sanjay Singh alleged on Tuesday that the BJP has hatched a conspiracy with CBI officers to frame Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a “fake case”. There was no immediate reaction to the allegation from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
In a video message on X, Singh wondered how would one get justice when such things are happening.
“We have learnt from reliable sources that the BJP-led Centre has hatched a conspiracy with CBI officers at a time when there is a huge possibility of Kejriwal getting bail from the Supreme Court. They have planned to frame him in a fake case by the CBI and get him arrested.
“The entire country is watching the atrocities of the BJP. How will one get justice in such circumstances? People will stand up against this,” the Rajya Sabha MP of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said.
Earlier today, the Delhi High Court stayed the trial court order granting bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal while allowing the Enforcement Directorate plea seeking a stay on the trial court order in the excise policy money laundering case.
The vacation bench of Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain, while passing the order, said that documents and arguments were not appreciated properly by the trial court properly.
